Misery Shopping

So if you thought I meant mystery shopping... you would be wrong. Unfortunately for my lovely wife of many years, shopping has always been a misery for me. That's why I have to find strange and fun ways to entertain myself.

Take my pet moose, Ed, for instance. I hate crowded malls, so I love to walk through the malls with him. People give us a wide berth when Ed walks through with me. It's pretty difficult to get him through the entrance doors though, but we somehow manage.

Okay, I confess... Ed is not my pet moose. He's just a stuffed moose in a mall we walked through in Canada. He was the most interesting thing I saw there. I'm not talking about the countryside... that was beautiful! I just don't do malls. I'm a "bag it and tag it" shopper. I go in, find what I need, and I'm done. I don't need to see everything else in the mall.

However, take Ed and me to Bass Pro Shop, and we're in heaven! I keep him away from the taxidermy section though. It makes him a little nervous.
